My wife & two kids went parasailing together as I was not able to due to an injury. We booked on Waikiki beach the day before for just the two kids & although a little pricy at $85 each for about 10-12 min, I wanted the kids to experience it. Picked up on time at hotel for short transport to pier by talkative chap Greg. He had many takes, jokes & suggestions for us during our ride which were appreciated but I couldn't have done it for a 30 min ride! He did pull out the consent/waiver form very close to arrival with little time to read it but I have been in many of these types of excursions before & they are all fairly standard, relieving them of all liability but you can always choose not to go. Do your research for safety, this is a very good outfit! Once on boat, my wife decided she would participate with kids & the crew were very accommodating & helped her get ready last minute. The three had an absolute blast, incredible sights & my wife who is deathly afraid of heights said she had no problem with it! They even got dunked briefly into the ocean twice which they loved & we got a memory card with some incredible pictures taken by crew. It was also enjoyable just riding around the waves in the sun taking in Waikiki as the other two groups had their turns. And the best part is that from pickup T hotel to drop off again was under 1.5 hours so took up very little part of the day! Use this operator of you are going to do it! Other than the lady in the office who wasn't overly friendly, everyone else was extremely friendly & very fun & it felt like a very safe experience!
